Game|Life Podcast: Is Mario Doomed?

Alas, poor Ninty, we knew you well.

It’s not that Nintendo can’t eventually rebound from its doomsday forecast last week—they’ve pulled their bacon out of the fire more than once before—but it’s certainly going to need a little magic this time. And who better than the Game|Life crew to discuss what that magic might be? Of course, just dwelling on the negatives does not a fun podcast make, so the conversation also turns to King.com’s zealous trademark lawyers, as well as what might be a tidy little pay-for-play situation over at some of Machinima’s more popular gamer-run channels. Which of course means that we have a very strange definition of “not dwelling on the negatives,” but hey.
